Earlier this week, Vivo announced the start of the global rollout of the X300 Ultra and X300 FE, with the exact date depending on the market – for example, for Spain it’s April 24. Additionally, the X300 Ultra is now available on Amazon with an attractive price of €2,000 (16GB/1TB).
Based on last week’s survey results, the Vivo X300 Ultra will be one of the main challengers in the upcoming ultra battle. The phone received a very warm welcome with one caveat – people are curious about the Oppo Find X9 Ultra, which will launch globally on April 21.
According to the survey, the Vivo X300 Pro didn’t pose much of a challenge – it and the smaller X300 only received less than 4% of the votes. The Pro sells for €1,400 and has all the cameras most people need. Yes, the Ultra is better with a larger main sensor (1/1.12” vs 1/1.28”) and a larger battery for Europe (6,400mAh vs 5,440mAh), but we thought the €600 premium would scare off most people.
In fact, about 20% of voters think the Ultra is too expensive, but they are looking at non-Vivo flagships as alternatives. For what it’s worth, the MSRP of the Oppo Find X9 Pro is €100 less than that of the Vivo X300 Pro. Anyway, we’re glad to see that Vivo is giving its latest X Ultra phone a global release this time.
We have the Vivo X300 Ultra in hand as well as the photography kit for review, so expect a detailed report with plenty of camera samples soon.
